About 9.7% of Oklahomans identified as African American/Black alone or in combination with another race during the 2020 Census
Also, Oklahoma is home to 35 counties on the top 100 US counties ranked on % of reported AI/AN population per capita.
#IndianCountry is everywhere, but especially in the occupied land called Oklahoma.
Only 8 states/territories saw an increase in their White population 👀 Oklahoma dropped 7.1% alone
Overall, Oklahoma is heading in a positive direction. This data is far more complicated and nuanced than simple graphs, but seeing this increase in self-ID with these four groupings is really cool.
Please note this is the group ‘White Only” and not combination groupings.

🧵 Tough love/advice for my fellow local Democratic candidates - knock Republican doors.
I stop at every house I pass with a Trump flag/sign when I’m out knocking doors. And the results might surprise you, maybe not.. /1
Before I tell you how I approach the convos, you have to realize that for some folks, but not all, 1) you might be the only Democratic candidate they’ve ever talked to. 2) their view on you is shaped primarily by divisive media/consultants/politicians /2
3) they’ll want to focus on national/culture war issues 4) they might not want to talk to you 5) they’ve probably lost a relationship, or many, with a family/friends over politics 6) they might say they hate all Democrats 7) they might say things deeply offensive to you /3
Has @GovStitt committed voter fraud? I'll leave that up to you to decide. Kevin lives at 1850 W. Waterloo Rd. in Edmond. His voting district SHOULD BE SD41 + HD39. His municipality SHOULD BE Edmond, OK. But that's not where he's been voting according to the OK Voter portal.... 👀
@GovStitt Even Sarah Stitt, @GovStitt's wife, appears to have committed voter fraud multiple times. Considering neither are registered at their current address - and the deadline to update their address before the general has passed, I wonder - will they commit voter fraud next week?
From what I can tell - the Stitts are registered to vote at the dilapidated, uninhabitable Governor's mansion that was unfit for their family. Considering Sarah Stitt lived at their Jenks mansion until the purchase of their Edmond mansion.... I have to wonder....
So, OPSRC stands for OK Public School Resource Center. but first, we're going to learn about their sister school in Arkansas (APSRC). Bankrolled by the Walton's [wal-mart], they have a deceptive name. They're as pro-charter as it gets. /2 myrenegadelife.com/2019/10/
APSRC lobbies on behalf of the Walton Family Foundation. According to their former comms director, APRSC exec dir Scott Smith is a step-child within the AR Walton Family. Click this link for a short write up of his connection to OK /3
🧵watch vid 1st - Ryan Walters is CEO of @EKCOklahoma. On EKCO board is VP of Pub. Affairs - Saxum (PR Firm) Jennifer Monies. Monies=Stitt appointee to the State Board of Ed; recently voted to downgrade @TulsaSchools accreditation; is on the board of John Rex Charter School /1
Monies was also the ex. dir. for OK Achieves. Ryan walters was ex. dir. of same from 5/19-5/20. Back to Saxum - Renzi Stone fm story link in /1 (screenshot below) is the founder/exec of Saxum. Saxum received $722k in PPP loans in '20. Approved by First Fidelity Bank /2
First Fidelity Bank is a client of Saxum. Saxum had MORE money forgiven than they borrowed.
I know we are getting in the weeds here. Hang tight. /3
🧵 I’m at an anti-CRT, anti-DEI event in Tulsa. I won’t say the name because my platform is bigger than the speaker’s is 🙃 let’s roll. /1
There’s about 30 vehicles here. Very small event space. Probably abt 40 people here. Average age probably 60y/o. /2
One attendee says the key to their strategy is “attacking” (her word) Oklahoma superintendents and getting rid of them is Ryan W*liters winning the State Super race. /3
